These are six exciting short stories. They are all different and all have an unexpected and surprising ending. THE WOODS - This tells about a city girl who 'gets lost in the woods', becomes terrified and discovers some things she would rather not have known. GIANT - This story is about what you might experience if you suddenly found yourself to be almost eight feet tall. Would you think that you had entered into Jonathan Swift's land of Lilliput? How would you react and what would you do? And what would be the reaction of the people around you? The ending of this story will catch you by surprise. MY FIRST CAR - This is a nostalgic story that comically describes how people, in the 1950's, used to 'push a car' with a dead battery, to get it started. The ending is predictable but unexpected and inevitable. AGE OF INNOCENCE - This is about a pair of toddlers who discover that some people are different and yet, they are also the same. It is interesting that they notice some differences and ignore other ones. A FOOL AND HIS MONEY - A twist on an old theme that will, nevertheless, keep you in suspense until the end. WAR IS HELL - A story about an incident during the American Civil War. It has an ending that will make you think: Is the turmoil in today's world so much different from what it was 150 years ago? This story ends with a reconciliation that is unexpected and uplifting.
